Germany Slashes Imports to
Stem Effects of Boycott
Against Nazi Mdse.
BERLIN (WNS)—The increasing ef¬ fectiveness of tiie boycott against German giKKls is strikingly demonstrated by the imp(jsition of a virtual government em¬ bargo on all imports during the month of June. This latest of a series of decrees slashes the allotment of foreign excliangc fpr <ir<ltii;iry imports to five per cent of the amount spenl for foreign goods in l!i:«); a reduction to oiic-fifth the aniount available last February.
The immediate reason for this drastic slash, which cuts imports to about one- twentieth of normal, is Germany's disap¬ pearing gold reserve which is vanishing because of the steady shrinkage in export trade, a direct result of the world-wide boycott. Significantly enough, the only cxcmptioms to the. new embargo are such raw materials as cotton, wool, metals and other ])roducts ready under government control because df their value in the man¬ ufacture.of armaments.
The issuance of this decree, which is a frank admission of the critTfcal nature of the Reich's foreign trade position, co¬ incided with a warning to the outside worid from Kurt Schmitt, minister of economics, that unless foreign markets were opened to Germany's exports she not only could not meet the service on her foreign commercial and government debts but would have to cease buying foreign raw materials, Schmitt hinted that if necessary Germany wouid fall back, on synthetic raw materials, but the effectiveness of his threat that Germany woukl permanently drop out as an im¬ portant buyer of the world's raw. ma¬ terials was weakened when he declared that "for Germany's export needs big business is indispensable."
An even more significant admission of the havoc being wrought by the boycott came from Der Deutsche, organ of the German Labor Front, which said that "the only possibility for the permanent reduction of the German living standard would be the success of world Judaism in carrying through the boycott and eco¬ nomic warfare against Germany, which was resumed recently with unbelievable energy. This unheard-of effort to sabb-., tage the creation t^i Gernian labor by de¬ nying us the necessary raw materials, throwing into the streets hundreds of thousands of German workers, is becorn- ing more visible day by day." At the same, time Dcr Deutsche predicted that Germany would defeat the boycott by creating substitutes for foreign raw ma- teiyals.
REINHARDT INVITED TO
MAKE SCREEN VERSION
OF "THE MIRACLE"

It is believed that the invitation to Reinhardt is meant as a gesture of cooperation by the motion picture industry to the Catholic Church in line with the new policy of cleansing the movies. The Jewish community here is very elated that a Jewish tlircctor has been selected for this significant rap¬ prochement between the movies and the Chiirch. .
